Geraldo Rivera Goes To Bat For Ghislaine Maxwell · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This goofy MF, Geraldo Rivera, thinks it's a good idea
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that Ghislaine Maxwell gets bail. He thought it was such
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a good idea, in fact, that he blasted the judge
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: after she denied the bail request. As if Ghislaine Maxwell
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: isn't a flight risk. As if Ghislaine Maxwell is not
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: an imminent threat to leave the country. But no, you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: have this goofy MF, Geraldo Rivera, trying to wax poetic
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and fight for Ghislaine Maxwell getting bail. What in the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: world could possibly motivate this clown to try and defend
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell being remanded to federal custody until her trial?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It defies reason. I don't know how anybody can look
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: at the facts of this case, the facts that are
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: just available to us, and not think that Ghislaine Maxwell
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: was an imminent threat to leave the country. Most certainly
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: she was. But Geraldo Rivera... Well, he thinks that she
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: should have been bailed out. She should have went to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the luxury hotel. Yeah, throw an ankle monitor on her.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: As if those have never been tampered with. As if
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: those have never been removed. And furthermore, what makes Ghislaine
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Maxwell so special that she should get bailed? This is
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a child predator. We're not talking about somebody who got
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: nailed with 15 or 20 kilos. Then I'd be like, yeah,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: let them bail him out. Give them the bail. They
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: better get bailed. we are talking about someone who abused children.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And not only abused children, was involved in a wide-ranging
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: money laundering scheme. It makes me wonder if Geraldo Rivera
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is suffering late stages of trauma in his life from
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a head injury or something because this guy is an
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: absolute clown. There is no defense possible that you could
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: put forward that would make me believe that Ghislaine Maxwell
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: should get bail. But here we are, and this epic moron,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Geraldo Rivera, is making the case. Our article today is
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: from Fox News. The headline is, Geraldo Rivera accuses judge
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: who denied Ghislaine Maxwell bail of copping out to the mob.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: What a clown. The author of the article is Yale Halon.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Fox News correspondent at large, Geraldo Rivera, accused the New
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: York federal judge presiding over Ghislaine Maxwell's case of copping
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: out to the mob Tuesday after she denied the British socialite, co-conspirator,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: child abuser, general scumbag, bail request as she awaits trial
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: on sex trafficking charges. So right out of the gate,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Geraldo doesn't know what he's talking about here. What did
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he expect the judge to do? to grant this woman bail? Unacceptable.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It is not even an option. And you heard from
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: two of the survivors themselves who addressed the court. Do
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: their feelings not matter? I mean, how could anyone who
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: listened in on that hearing yesterday not agree with the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: remanding of Ghislaine Maxwell to federal custody? It is just
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: such a foreign perspective. I don't understand how anybody who
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is not just trying to be cute doesn't see that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell is a risk to flee. It just defies
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the imagination. I think this was a political decision, Rivera
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: asserted on Bill Hemmer Reports. I think that the question
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is not whether she committed these hideous offenses. The question
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: is whether or not she would show up for trial.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: She bought a house in New Hampshire, for God's sakes.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: For goodness sakes, she went to all this trouble to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: stay in the country. Well, did you ever think that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that might have had to do with her hubris and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that she was able to get away with
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this for so long? And in her arrogance, she thought
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that those who had protected her previously with Jeffrey Epstein
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: were going to continue to do so. Because, we know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: she has, supposedly, the documentation and the evidence that will
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: put a bunch of powerful people on blast. Now, Ghislaine Maxwell, obviously,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: has intimate knowledge of what occurred with Jeffrey Epstein. She
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was his partner in crime. She was the shadow boss.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And to think that Ghislaine Maxwell, now truly understanding the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: gravity of these charges that she's facing, to think that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: she would not bounce and try and get out of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Dodge is just, it's silly to think that way. She's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: going to stick around and wait for the trial? She
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: knows that she's guilty. She knows there's mountains of evidence.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And she knows that other co-conspirators are about to be
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: flipped to rat on her. Ghislaine Maxwell would have been
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on the first flight out of America if she could
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: have figured it out. But the fact is, she is
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: no longer useful to her handlers and And once that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: happens in their part of the world, in this sort
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of community, you are burned as an asset and jettisoned.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: They could take her passports, he went on. That's standard
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: operating procedure. Yeah, okay, they could take her passports, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: how do we know she can't get more? This isn't
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a woman who is just, you know, floating through life
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and happened to get caught up in some sex trafficking scheme.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: This is a woman of means, a woman of power.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and a woman of great skill when it comes to manipulation.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell has no business ever setting foot outside of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a prison ever again. Rivera added the coronavirus risks in
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the awful Brooklyn detention center, as well as the very
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: suspicious circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death, Should have been enough
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to secure the 58-year-old's release. Okay, and then what, Geraldo? Mr.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Geraldo Rivera, man of so many big ideas? Then what?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: The federal government provides guards to protect her at her
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: luxury hotel? Negative. She'll be eating bologna? Nasty-ass oatmeal? and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: whatever other kind of gruel they slop down on her plate.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: She will not be getting room service while she's awaiting
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: trial on these horrific charges. And the coronavirus nonsense? Give
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: me a break. I am so sick and tired of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the coronavirus being used in every quarter as an excuse
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: for everything. Enough is enough, okay? The wheels of justice
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: do not stop because you have the coronavirus or that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: there's an outbreak of it in the jail. And furthermore,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: New York has passed their peak. Ghislaine Maxwell has no
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: underlying health conditions that we're aware of. She should not
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: be able to use the coronavirus as an excuse to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: escape justice once again. And I believe that Judge Allison
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Nathan made the correct call. It doesn't make any sense,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he said, before claiming that prosecutors in the case are
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: doing this to put pressure on her. No shit, moron.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: No shit. That was exactly what I've said from the beginning.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: These initial charges are hold charges. These are not the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: only charges we're going to see, in my opinion. And Mr.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Doofus Geraldo Rivera just said the same thing, basically. They're
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: putting this pressure on her because they want her to rat.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: They want her to spill the beans. And they want
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the other co-conspirators to start to sweat. That's how this
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: stuff works. If you're not familiar with federal cases, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you're one of those who are flipping out because, oh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the trial's in a year, this kind of thing takes
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a very long time. With some RICO cases, they're built
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: over multiple years, three, four, five years in some cases.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So it's not out of the norm for this case
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to be tried a year from now. There is a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: huge scope here, and it's a very broad and wide-ranging investigation.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And it's not just going to end right here with
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell. That's just not likely. So Geraldo is answering
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: his own question here. One of the main reasons to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: keep her in prison, one of the main reasons to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: keep her without bail is to continue to put the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: pressure on her. You want her to break. You want
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: her to rat on everybody. That's the point, Geraldo. They
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: are punishing her before conviction, Rivera argued. She has never
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: been held liable in a civil suit, never been convicted
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of a crime. She is not Jeffrey Epstein. I think
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: this is a terrible, punitive decision. Sounds just like, what
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: did he get his talking points from Cohen? What did
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Mark Cohen come over to Geraldo Rivera's office and drop
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: off the old talking points? Sure sounds that way. And furthermore,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: She settled in her civil suit because she didn't want
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to get to discovery, you epic moron. How about you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: follow the case a little bit there, Mr. Geraldo, before
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: you pipe up and open your fat, stupid yap. Criminal
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: defense attorney, Janice Spielberg, largely agreed with Rivera, accusing U.S.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: District Judge Allison Nathan of lacking the courage to do
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: what was really right in this. Are you kidding me
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: right now? The government has been dicking these girls over,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: these survivors, for years. And you just want to go
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: ahead and compound that problem and let Ghislaine Maxwell walk free?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Hop on the next private jet provided to her by
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: insert intelligence agency here and cut out? Because that's definitely
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a problem. What do these people want? They want her
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to be free with an ankle bracelet, running around, living
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the life still? Well, that ship has sailed, okay? There
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: has been a lack of justice in this case from
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the very beginning. So if Judge Allison Nathan wants to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: lay the hammer down, remand this lady to custody, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: let the government sink their teeth in, then I am
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: all for it. Geraldo Rivera and anyone else be damned.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Nathan ruled Tuesday that Maxwell, accused of sexually abusing and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: exploiting young girls alongside the late convicted pedophile Epstein, posed
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: too great a flight risk to be allowed to leave. 100%.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: We've went over that. She is definitely a flight risk, folks.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me right now? On what planet does
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: anyone believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is going to meekly sit
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: around in her luxury hotel and not have the wheels
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: turning on an escape plan? How long have I told
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you that it's about self-preservation for these serpents? And Ghislaine
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Maxwell is the master of self-preservation, folks. So if you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: think that Ghislaine didn't have five plans ready to hatch,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you're wrong. She did. The judge emphasized that no combination
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of conditions would ensure that Maxwell wouldn't try to leave
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the country, noting her foreign connections and adding that she
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: exhibited an extraordinary capacity to evade detection. Yeah, like aluminum
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: foil on the phone, moving 36 times, not answering summons
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: by judges. It goes on and on. Okay? These aren't
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the behaviors of somebody who's trying to avoid the press.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: It's such a laughable argument. It is so full of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: holes that it's not even worth punching more into their
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: stupid ass defense at this point. We are not supposed
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to discriminate against people, not in our criminal justice system,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: based on whether they have money or don't have money,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Spillbore said. What is your point? What does this have
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to do with money? What do you think, they're trying
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to make an example of Ghislaine Maxwell here? That's not
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the case. This woman has been remanded to custody because
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: she has a risk to flee. Point blank, period. All
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: this other shit we're hearing from Spillbore and Geraldo Rivera,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that's just white noise, folks. A bunch of white noise. Garbage.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Rivera argued that Maxwell was not evading law enforcement, but
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: was rather laying low to avoid tabloids and the press.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: How does he know that? So he's just, he's taking
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the defense's word for it, huh? Okay, that's fine. You
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: can take the defense's word for it. They have no proof.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: They have no evidence. So go ahead and be on
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the losing side once again there, Geraldo Rivera. Why would
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you want to change it up now? Your opinion has
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: always sucked. It continues to suck. And frankly, you're a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: terrible newsman. She was hiding from the Daily Mail, he said.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: She was hiding from the New York Post. She was
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: hiding from the National Enquirer. She was one of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: most sought-after, with the exception of Meghan Markle, the most
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: sought-after tabloid figure in the country. Stop. Hit the brakes.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You dumb jackass. How about if the legacy media, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: what you're part of, did their job hunting her down
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to try and find her? It was only the so-called...
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: tabloids who gave a damn. So put a little respect
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: on their name from this search, huh? From this, uh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: from this investigation. Because you, Mr. Rivera, have done nothing
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for the survivors. Except open your fat, stupid yap and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: act like you know what you're talking about. I am
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: so tired of all of these Johnny-come-lately showing up at
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: this story acting like they know what's up. Acting like
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they have their finger on the pulse. So many people
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: have been wrong at every single turn in this case.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So excuse me if I don't care what you have
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to say. Remember, these charges relate to offenses that happened
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: 25 years ago, from 1994 to 1997, Rivera concluded. I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: think these are charges that are wobbly on their face.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And for this judge to chicken out and not give
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: this defendant bail, I think is copping out to the mob.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: These are hold charges, Harado. Okay? These are the charges.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: They knew that they could get the stick right off
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the bat with no BS. They didn't have to worry
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: about the NPA, the non-prosecution agreement. They didn't have to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: worry about any of this. Don't be mad because they
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: pulled an end around. Don't be mad because the government
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: is using loopholes now. I never thought I'd see the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: day that I was rooting for the government in a prosecution.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: We all know I feel that the government is absolutely corrupt.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and was complicit in this for a long, long time.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: But here now, well, the way Allison Moe is conducting herself,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and the way that Judge Nathan ruled already in this case,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: it gives me some hope that we're turning a corner here,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and that there are still prosecutors and people within the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: justice system who give a damn. Because we know from
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: past experiences that most of them haven't. So maybe this
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: is a new, a step in the right direction for
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the SDNY. Because I'll tell you what, if Alison Moe
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: conducts herself the way she did yesterday in that hearing
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: throughout this trial, they are going to be in for
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a long ride. She shredded them yesterday. She showed up
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to that courtroom and she went Chuck Rhodes on these dudes.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And if I was Ghislaine Maxwell... Instead of Cohen, you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: better call Saul because you're going to need a lot
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: more help in the courtroom. Maxwell's trial date is set
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: for July 2021 and an end is expected to last
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: two weeks. Well, I've already put my plans into motion,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: locked in my living arrangements, and I plan on being
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: in New York for the duration of the trial. So
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: right now, it looks like I'll be touching down in
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: New York on July 10th. Thankfully, I'm originally from New York,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: so I have plenty of places to stay. And I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: plan on being down at the trial, at the courthouse,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: every day that the trial is occurring. Because, like I said,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I want to see this through to the very end now.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: We're in this so deep and we're getting to a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: point where people who are involved are finally starting to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: get a taste of what it feels like to be
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the hunted, to be the prey. And it is not
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the time to take the foot off the gas yet.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: More indictments, speedy trials, and convictions. That is when a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: stamp is put on it. That is when a bow
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: is tied upon it. Until then, we'll have to navigate
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: our way through the muddy waters, slapping around people like
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Geraldo Rivera every time they start talking out of the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: side of their neck. If you'd like to contact me,
